Dell rolls out advancements to its AI Factory with NVIDIA

Dell Technologies has announced a broad set of advancements to the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, aiming to deliver the foundation enterprises need to move from AI ambition to realised outcomes.

Dell Deskside Agentic AI, a new solution powered by Dell’s high-performance workstations and NVIDIA NemoClaw, allows enterprises to more securely build and run autonomous agents locally with data that never leaves the device.

Supported by end-to-end Dell services, the solution is designed for specialised groups in software engineering, academic research and regulated industries, converting variable cloud token costs into a controlled infrastructure investment.

NVIDIA OpenShell, the secure runtime for autonomous agents, is now supported across the entire Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA.

This allows organisations to build, deploy and govern agents with privacy controls, from Dell Pro Precision towers and Dell Pro Max with GB10 and GB300 through to Dell PowerEdge XE servers. The Dell-NVIDIA AI-Q 2.0 Reference Architecture, powered by the Dell AI Data Platform with NVIDIA, extends this foundation with a production-ready multi-agent research workflow for regulated industries. 

Enhancements to the Dell AI Data Platform’s orchestration and search capabilities index billions of unstructured files and connect them into governed pipelines, accelerating data discovery and dataset creation for AI. Integrated services for Dell AI Data Platform aim to help customers tackle challenges like data preparation, skills gaps and operational complexity so they can move from pilots to production faster.

Within Dell AI Data Platform, the Dell Data Analytics Engine, powered by Starburst, now brings GPU-accelerated SQL analytics to enterprise AI, delivering up to 6x faster query performance on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs today with support designed for future platforms including Vera, the companies claim.

The new Dell ObjectScale X7700 ultra-dense appliance delivers up to 45% more HDD capacity than the previous generation, with flexible compute-to-storage scaling and improved TCO. Forthcoming 245 TB all-flash drive support will more than triple ObjectScale flash density.

Within Dell AI Data Platform with NVIDIA, Dell storage and search engines integrate with NVIDIA Omniverse libraries to combine scalable object storage with semantic, vector-based asset search. This helps connect PLM systems and repositories directly into Omniverse, feeding digital twins and physical AI training and validation workflows with trusted, well-organised data.
